CBD has always been a concerning issue for the general public that is unaware of what the products are used for any help created. CBD topicals, such as ointments, lotions, and oils, have many benefits and uses but are still a relatively new product in the medical or pharmaceutical industry. However, it is important to look further into the subject to determine what it really is and if there is a reason to be concerned. Here are some things that you should know about CBD topicals.

Legalities

CBD has been a hot topic in terms of the products, the forms they come in, and their legality to be purchased and sold. For the majority of states, CBD is legal to be sold in products if sourced from hemp as opposed to marijuana. Of course, there are a few outliers, and some products may contain traces of marijuana, causing them to be illegal in certain areas. It is best to do the research in regards to your specific region to determine if the products can be purchased without worry.

Purposes And Use

The applications for CBD have a variety of different purposes. CBD oil can be ingested and consumed to help promote positive feelings, as well as reducing anxiety; however, topical creams have other positive effects. Of course, they are meant to increase your mood, but for other reasons. Creams and oils that are meant for application and topical use are utilized for their ability to help with pain and inflammation. This is useful for people that are active or have suffered injuries from physical activity or other reasons that have triggered inflammation. 

Additional Benefits

With the hesitation for many people to use CBD, it will come as a surprise to the many benefits linked to CBD usage that are not typically associated with its ingredients. The primary usage is for pain relief, but in addition to such relief, users of CBD topical creams do not suffer from any addictions or psychoactive side effects that are usually linked with products that carry similar ingredients.

Age And Demographics Of Customers

One thing that many people may be curious about CBD and the topical products is who exactly these products are marketed and tailored towards. Although there is a stigma that the use of such CBD products is typically associated with a younger, more alternative thinking demographic, the customers vary quite a bit. The age of many users of topical CBD products like creams and lotions range from young adults to older adults, with the latter group often being quite happy with these products. This is because these creams are often used to help combat issues surrounding pain. Additionally, many athletes and active adults use CBD creams, fighting against the stigma of hippies and smokers being the primary users of all related products. Depending on the product itself, there are benefits that address problems with muscle, joints, and other pains, which translate to many different needs of people. 

Stigma

Most people have a negative connotation when it comes to CBD and its products. The big reason for this is because of its ingredients. People look at the hemp products ingredients and see THC and immediately associate it with marijuana and cannabis and the links to drug usage. However, what people do not consider is the actual impact and implications that come with CBD and its other benefits. Additionally, there are many other ingredients that are inside any sort of CBD product that often is just as important to the end product.

Ingredients

It is important that you always review the ingredients in the products that you use. This is key for multiple reasons. The primary reason is that you want to ensure the ingredients are safe, not just for general usage but also safe for your own personal use. Many people have different allergies and reactions, so evaluating different ingredients alongside the discretion or approval of your doctor or medical advisor will go a long way in determining that such creams or oils are beneficial for you. For many consumers, one of the benefits or reasons they use Vitamin Shoppe CBD salve products is the fact that it is created with organic ingredients. In addition to CBD that is present in all products, there are many other ingredients to consider. Beeswax is another popular ingredient to look for as it is organic and can be naturally sourced, coming with many benefits that include hydration and exfoliation. Essential oils may also be present in your creams to provide the benefits linked with each unique substance, and of course, THC is often linked to CBD products, but it is not always present in them.

Testing

A concern that is popular and surrounding the use of CBD is the idea that there isn’t enough testing being done to ensure the safety of the products and eliminate or minimize any risks that come along with their use. The fact is that because it is a relatively new product and industry, there is consistent and ongoing testing being done, many of which are independent testers of the producers of the products, as it is in their best interest to find they are completely safe to use. By establishing their safety, these manufacturers will be able to instill confidence in their customers that they can continue to use their products. In addition to these constant independent tests being done, some tests done in labs have explored the impact of the creams and topical lotions on animals, namely rats that have arthritis and similar pain and muscle issues. Although there are still strides to be made to ensure safety in humans, positive results from these tests have given hope to the positive outlook and the weight towards the benefits associated with CBD use.

As a consumer, it is crucial that you are educated and knowledgeable about the products that you use and subject yourself to exposure. It is key for your health and wellbeing, as well as your state of mind, to know exactly what you are using or consuming. CBD has a lot of stigma and associations connected to it that can skew how you think about it, so having an open mind is important when doing your research.
